I have a mini computer LIVA X running windows 8.1 Media Center that I use with my TV. It started to blue screen intermittently and with no apparent reason. Let it sit for a bit, start it up and it works again....for a few hours... a day... or a week...it is intermitent! After isolating the eSata drive (removing it) and running diagnostics I was able to determine that I have a bad RAM chip memtest = http://rode.us/BadLivaRam.jpg

Two 2GB DDR3 RAM chips are soldered to the board. So damn... there is nothing I can do about that... or is there? I am thinking that the second chip is the problem. Most of the time the RAM sits in the cache but eventrually for what ever reason it gets accessed and boom... it blue screens. I don't need the extra 2GB of RAM for what I do so I am thinking if I create a 2GB RAM Drive and never use it I might be able to mitigate this problem.....what do you think?
